Do you have questions about short translations in Germany?

• + What does "short text translation" mean?

  This service is suitable for short texts that do not exceed 180 words per page, e.g. short passages or texts such as claims, titles or even tattoos. Our professionally trained specialist translators ensure that your short texts are convincing without errors! lingoking offers you short translations into any desired language. For short text translations, you can choose between a translation with or without proofreading. We recommend that you only do without proofreading if the translation is only used for internal purposes.
  
  IMPORTANT: The "short text translation" does not apply to translations of official documents. Documents of this kind must be authenticated standardly in order to be recognised. For official documents, we recommend that you book the appropriate service on our homepage (e.g. birth certificate, divorce certificate, proof of residence). For longer texts that do not need to be certified, we recommend the "Other specialist translation" service.

Do you have questions about short translations for abroad?

• + Can I translate my text myself?

  There are subtle nuances and differentiations in every language which — even with a very good command of the foreign language — can hardly be adhered to and translated accurately as a layperson. In general, we therefore advise against translating texts yourself. It is better to opt for a professional translator who is guaranteed to translate the content with perfect grammar and expression. With our team of native specialist translators, we guarantee you flawless processing of your documents. Alternatively, if you would like to translate yourself, we also offer proofreading services. The texts in the source and target language are compared with each other and the translation is checked for errors.

Do you have questions about the ordering process for short translations?

• + When will I receive my translation?

  lingoking offers you various options: Standard delivery takes 2 to 5 working days. In the case of express delivery, the translator will complete the translation within 2 to 3 working days. You can check the processing status of your project at any time via your personal login area. However, since short texts are, as the name suggests, "short", our translators strive to complete the translation as quickly as possible.

• + Who translates my short texts? Who has access to the documents?

  In order to provide you with the best possible quality, your translation will only be carried out by trained and native translators. Only our translators will have access to your personal documents.
